Jerry was a neighbor and a friend and we will miss him. My son had a stroke when he was born and was unable to ride a regular bike. Jerry had a oversized metal trike that he gave to my son. He set it up and then made adjustments to make sure it fit. We offered to pay for it and he just laughed. He always seemed to be outside when we went by on the trike and he had a kind encouraging word for my son. He was a warm and generous man and was a friend to many. Thank you Jerry!
